Just my 2 cents. Firefox on kubuntu without kde support is terrible. A new user to kubuntu will 
consider kubuntu a fail when using firefox without kde support. In my opinion rekonq vs. 
Firefox without kde integration rekonq wins hands down.

Hi everyoneSince the default browser seems to be a fairly hot topic in KubuntuI'd like to 
propose the following :

* Keep rekonq as the default browser* Add a new browser selection page in Ubiquity right 
after the


"Prepare" page which allows the user to pick one of the the 3available choices 
Firefox/Chromium/Rekonq ( rekonq selected by default)

Pro's : People don't complain (loudly) about our browser selection


For people trying out Kubuntu for the first time who knownothing about packages and how to 
install software, it gives them aneasy way to choose a more feature complete browser.

Con's : Adds another step in the installer










different applications,  the priority of those factors will be different. For a web browser, I think 
that's the correct order.

If Firefox doesn't fit, then we throw the first two out and ship rekonq.
